PRESIDENTS WELCOME

HELLO

part of the IPMA-HR family since 2001 (Kentucky
Chapter), and have attended Southern Region
Conferences since 2008. As President, I hope to
enhance the legacy of what the Sothern Region has
meant to IPMA-HR and its members! The Southern
Region Board and I, are working diligently to
produce effective training and networking
opportunities for our attendees!

In
continuing with our efforts in providing outstanding
HR professionalism in training, the Southern Region
Board alongside the Tennessee Chapter would like to
invite you to the 2016 Southern Region IPMA-HR
Training Conference to be held at the Historic
Peabody Hotel in Memphis TN, May 15-18, 2016! Our

training sessions and musically themed networking
opportunities! As in years past, you will not be
disappointed with the accommodations, substance of
the conference, or the awesome opportunities to meet
fellow colleagues in the HR Profession!

Our
mission in the Southern Region is simple, “We strive
to provide an enriched level of professional
